In a final push ahead of Saturday’s election in Ondo State, the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has said that the election is a litmus test for Nigerians to demonstrate that their hunger and anger can lead to real change.
He stressed that it is incumbent on the people of Ondo State to turn out in large numbers on Saturday to make a bold statement about their desire for good governance.
According to a newsletter released on Thursday night, titled “It’s Time to Make a Bold Statement,” the Oyo governor said that those who value good governance should vote for the Peoples Democratic Party in the election.
Makinde argued that the PDP is the party that can rescue Nigeria and lift it out of its current economic challenges. He pointed out that evidence from PDP-governed states shows the party’s ability to deliver the development needed across the country.
“Let me begin by encouraging everyone in Ondo State to come out this Saturday and make a bold statement in the Ondo State elections. Let all supporters of good governance stand up and say enough of the APC and its lack of people-centred policies. It is time for Nigerians to rally behind the PDP as the party that can help Nigeria overcome the economic challenges it faces.
“I want to remind you that Ondo State is a litmus test for Nigerians to show that their hunger and anger can bring about real change. Tell everyone you know that the PDP is the party that can rescue Nigeria. If you are still undecided, look at all the efforts being made by PDP governors for their people. Just yesterday, we presented our Budget of Economic Stabilisation.
“As always, it was a people-first budget. Based on data from previous years, there is a 7:10 chance of us successfully implementing the items in the budget. So, the people of Oyo State can expect more infrastructure development, more educational projects, and greater economic progress.
“In conclusion, economically, we look forward to better times in 2025. We just have to keep pushing and making the right decisions in the overall interest of our people and our nation,” Makinde stated.
